Indeed!  I'm at a friend's house at the moment, and he has a quickcam.
We loaded this stuff up with trembling fingers last night and it works
just great!  The interface is done with xforms, which looks pretty
snazzy, and it allows you to adjust the brightnes/contrast levels as
well as the bpp and resolution values on the fly.  Once vic has been
hacked to support this, I think you're going to see a lot of QC owners
on the MBONE! :-)
